Inaugurating the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference for Kutch and Saurashtra Region in Rajkot, Modi said, "He has been associated with the vision of Vibrant Gujarat Summit since the very first day. In the initial phase, the aim was to make the world aware of Gujarat’s potential, to invite people to come, invest, and thereby benefit India as well as global investors. Today, the summit has moved beyond investment to become a platform for global growth, international cooperation, and partnership."
The Prime Minister pointed out that over the years the number of global partners has steadily increased and the summit has become a major example of inclusion.
He highlighted that the focus of this Regional Summit is to transform the untapped potential of different parts of Gujarat into performance. Modi noted that some regions have the strength of a coastal line, others possess a long tribal belt, some have a large ecosystem of industrial clusters, while others carry a rich tradition of farming and animal husbandry.
He stated that India is moving towards becoming the world’s third largest economy, and the data clearly shows that global expectations from India are continuously rising.
Modi underlined that India is the fastest growing large economy, inflation is under control, agriculture production is achieving new records, India is number one in milk production, number one in generic medicine production, and the largest producer of vaccines in the world.
Highlighting that today every global expert and institution is bullish on India, the Prime Minister noted that the IMF calls India the engine of global growth, S&P has upgraded India’s rating after eighteen years, and Fitch Ratings has praised India’s macro stability and fiscal credibility.
He stressed that this global trust in India exists because, amid great global uncertainty, India is witnessing an unprecedented era of certainty. He underlined that India enjoys political stability, policy continuity, and an expanding neo-middle class with increasing purchasing power, making India a nation of limitless possibilities.
Prime Minister Modi remarked that Saurashtra and Kutch are regions of Gujarat that teach us that no matter how big the challenge, if one perseveres with honesty and hard work, success is assured.
Highlighting that today Saurashtra and Kutch are not just regions of opportunity but have become anchor regions of India’s growth, Modi stated that these regions are becoming major centers driving the Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign and play a significant role in making India a global manufacturing hub, a role that is market-driven and thus inspires investor confidence.
